GlossaryNilotinib

medication treats certain leukemias by inhibiting cancer-promoting proteins

Nilotinib is a medication used to treat certain types of leukemia, specifically chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It works by inhibiting the activity of a protein called BCR-ABL, which is produced by cancer cells and promotes their growth. By blocking this protein, Nilotinib helps to slow down or stop the progression of the disease.
